How would you hear it in space? Do you bast the horn 4 times for warp speed? Is the bell for Impuse power?

Get out of my way cant you see I’m going to warp speed?
Trick question. Space is a near vacuum. Sound doesn't travel in a vacuum. Remember Alien -- "In Space, No One Can Hear you Scream!"

So to be authentic as the box promises, you should press the horn and bell buttons and hear nothing.

It needs crew talk done by Captain Kirk and Scotty. "I'm giving her all she's got captain".....
Wait for the blowouts.
Where's Marty E anyway? He should be all over this lol!
First time seeing the picture of the box. I'm surprised it based on the "Next Generation" series. I think the first generation with Kirk would have done better.
The horn/whistle is transmitted over radio freqs (or whatever faster than light system in use) that are picked up by the other ship's communications. Even in the future, the horn/whistle is still considered the fastest way to get someone's attention. Only used intra-solar system where it is more crowded.
We haven’t even got to the headlight yet. “Mr. Checkoff, turn on the brights”
Being a postwar collector, I'm waiting for the "Captain Video", "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger", "Tom Corbett, Space Cadet", and "Johnny Jupiter" sets.

Like that will ever happen... As former publisher of a magazine named Starship, I've gotta admit that bell and horn sounds never ever entered my mind.

Uh, who lays rails and replaces rotted ties for a starship?
The soundsets from Lionel's Phantom series of engines would be interesting! I see the box cover touts AUTHENTIC horn and bell. 3 tugs on the whistle cord, Caption Kirk!
Even I could design a circuit board for space sounds. A big selling point is that it would work in both conventional or command mode. Lifetime upgrades could be guaranteed at no additional cost ( they will be covered in the original purchase price).
Guaranteed authenticity.

Scott, the same bell that's ringing in your head. Don

Could it be a Jefferson Starship? You might ask Alice.
A couple of bars from the opening theme music and phaser sounds
Dr. Who did a train in space Mummy on the Orient Express episode, but I don't remember a whistle or bell.
